Former Blackpool loanee Jordan Flores has committed his future to parent club Wigan Athletic by signing a new deal.

The 21-year-old midfielder, who came through the academy system at the DW Stadium, has put pen to paper on a new two-year deal following the expiration of his previous contract.

Flores played a leading role in Blackpool's promotion to League One last season, scoring three goals in 21 appearances, before coming off the bench in the 2-1 play-off final win against Exeter City at Wembley.

Some Pool fans had hoped he would return to Bloomfield Road but Flores, upon signing his new deal, has made it clear his future lies at Wigan.

He said: “I’m buzzing; I am going into what is my sixth season now and every year I feel like I have made progress.

“Last season that meant going out on loan and getting game time but this season I will hopefully break into the team.

“I support this club, I love this club and I have always wanted to play here.
